Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
92' - Full time and Wolves have done very well here. Bohs won't be too concerned though and will look forward to TNS mid-week.

Bohemians 0 - 3 Wolverhampton Wanderers
91' - Goal - GOAL! Mujangi-Bia bundles a third goal in!

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
87' - Substitution - This has to be the last sub. HAS TO BE. Lee Dixon comes off for Christopher Forrester.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
86' - I wonder whether Lopes is that 'Spanish lad' Pat Fenlon mentioned... Dave Edwards has been lively for Wolves since he came on.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
82' - Substitution - Bohs now hit the subs bench- Burke, Rossiter and Cronin off and Keith Buckley, Shane Keeley and Roberto Lopes on.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
81' - I should mention the few half chances Wolves have had in the alst few minutes. Ebanks-Blake had a chance but couldn't stretch for the ball and another just now with a header. Noithing major though.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
80' - Substitution - Will they ever stop? Another Wolves sub, Aaron McCarey on for Wayne Hennesey.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
79' - That may well have been the longest sub I've ever seen in my career thus far. I need a lie down...

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
75' - Substitution - And (deep breath) Elokobi, Halford, Ebanks Blake, Mujangi Bia, Edwards, Vokes and Foley on

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
75' - SEVEN Wolves Subs! Van Damme, Jones, Craddock, Berra, Doyle, Fletcher and Jarvis off...

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
68' - Kevin Doyle dribbled in and beat O'Connor with a shot, only for the ball to be cleared off the line. Wolves completely dominant.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
65' - OOOOHHH! So close for Fletcher! He made a great little run into the box and Jarvis found him with a cross. Just over though.

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
62' - ...Karl Henry started a good Wolves move my winning the ball in midfield. He took the ball forward and a few passes later Fletcher was in for his first goal in Wolves colours!

Bohemians 0 - 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers
61' - Goal - AND IT'S ANOTHER WOLVES GOAL! Stephen Fletcher bangs it in from the edge of the box!

Jinky asked us how the new Wolves signings are getting on- Jelle Van Damme and Stephen Fletcher. Fletcher has looked good- quite threatening off the ball with his runs. Van Damme has looked a tad shaky when presented with the pace of Aaron Greene though. But to be fair, Van Damme has been decent on the ball.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
54' - Substitution - Bohs take off Stephen Traynor for Yael Laho. Matt Doherty also off for Jason Dwane.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
54' - Matt Jarvis whips in a free kick, and Stephen Fletcher would have made it two if he had got a touch on it. It was too quick for him though.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
51' - Kevin Doyle at last shows us what he can do- forcing another corner after a dangerous run. Wolves go close with a header from that corner but O'Connor is equal to it.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
49' - Stephen Fletcher forces O'Connor to make a good save with a long range shot. McGuiness clears from the resulting corner.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
48' - Bohs again are trying to break the Wolves defence but Wolves are a bit too strong. Karl Henry is doing well in midfield.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
46' - Second Half - The second half has just begun.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
45' - Half Time - The teams are back out. Lets hope for a bitmore excitement.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
45' - Half Time - Had to introduce a Wolves fans to the Irish half-time treat of the battered sausage and chips. Welcome to Dublin- the land of no pies!

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
45' - Half Time - It's half time here, Wolves lead 1-0 but should really be ahead by more.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
44' - That vuvuzela-blower has been quiet so far but just let out a little "PARP" there just to remind us he's here. Hush now and watch the football, thanks.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
41' - Andy Keogh is actually doing well for Wolves 'in the hole'- stringing passes together well.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
38' - It's all Wolves now- Stephen Fletcher the latest player with a chance. He did well to break free but shot wide from a narrow angle on the left side of the Bohs area.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
36' - Andy Keogh should have made it 2 for Wolves! Keogh had a free chance yards out but scuffed his shot embarassingly wide. Poor.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
35' - Dave Jones thunders a free-kick at the Bohs goal but a Bohs defender manages to get in the way before it reaches O'Connor.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
31' - Great skill shown there by Matt Jarvis of Wolves. He curled his shot around the Bohs defender but it fell just past the far post. Unlucky.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
30' - ...Kevin Doyle heads clear and it falls to McGuinness. His low low shot is well saved though.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
29' - Bohs had a great chance to hit Wolves on the break there but it's out for a corner...

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
27' - The Wolves fans are chanting "Woooahhh, something something something". I don't know what they're saying but it sounds like great craic.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
24' - And on that chance, it came from a move started from another poor Wayne Hennesey kick out.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
23' - Jason Byrne has Bohs best chance so far- heading just over from a Lee Dixon cross.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
21' - Substitution - Ronald Zubar limps off after picking up a knock, he's replaced by Richard Stearman.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
19' - The first Bohs chance in a while is a bit of a non-starter. Traynor plays a good ball to Jason Byrne on the wing, and a good ball finds Aaron Greene. His header isn't powerful enough though.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
18' - Wolves have another big chance. Matt Jarvis ran down the wing and put another good ball in the Chris Berra, who shot wide.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
14' - Jelle Van Damme's nickname must be 'Jellyman', surely...

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
12' - Jelle Van Damme runs well and passes for Andy Keogh in the Bohs penalty area, but Keogh is muscled out by Jason McGuinness and the ball dribbles out of play.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
10' - The Wolves defence are proving themselves more than capable of withstanding Bohs so far. Their midfielders need to be a bit more creative though if the match is to open up.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
8' - Gary Burke runs well through the Wolves midfield, but his final pass is lacking. Himself and Greene look decent so far for Bohs.

Bohemians 0 - 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
6' - Goal - GOALLLLL!!!! Jody Craddock rises highest and heads past Chris O'Connor from the 1st corner of the match.

Bohemians 0 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
4' - Aaron Greene cleverly beats his man and tries to cross, but Zubar is a match to it and clears. Wolves have yet to really attack.

Bohemians 0 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
2' - Wayne Hennesey forced to hoof the ball clear following some pressure from Jason Byrne. Bohs earned a throw and worked it into the box but Byrne shot high and wide when it came to him.

Bohemians 0 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
1' - First Half - And we are kicked off here in sunny Phibsborough.

Viewer Email - Ed the Wolves supporter has asked What formation are Wolves playing in? Well Ed, thanks for the mail, they are playing a 4-3-1-2 at the moment and Andy Keogh is drifting around in the hole. I hate that description. He's playing just behind the front two. The groundsmen will complain if I claim there is a hole in the pitch....

From Extratime's Twitter:
We've been asked by I assume a Wolves fan Is this a full strength Bohs team - No far from it, Bohs had a domestic league game yesterday and are playing in the Champions League against TNS of Wales on Tuesday (they lead 1-0 from the home leg). So this is a mix of some first teamers, reverses and trialists.

Stats Attack - Goalscorer info: Jody Craddock is a 34 year old defender who has previously played for Stoke, Sunderland, Shefield United and Cambridge. He made 33 appearances for Wolves last season, scoring five times in the process. He's contracted to Wolves until 2011.
